Vespera: We need a strategy. Of course, we could exploit their weaknesses...we need brutality. Show our willingness to violence, let them know we are a threat. A force to be reckoned with.

Gisela: My son will soon fulfill his legacy. We as an order shall make it our priority that he undergoes the necessary changes. You're correct Vespera, we need brutality and a situation desperate enough he will be forced to acknowledge his violence-prone instincts...

Fintan next to them:

Kotlc characters as things I’ve heard at school

Sophie: I don’t have a break until November of next year don’t even

Keefe: Just because m&ms on a bacon bagel LOOKS crazy doesn’t mean it actually tastes bad

Biana: That mannequin head is in her slay era 💅🏻

Dex: I cannot stress this enough, Homer was *not* a Swiftie

Fitz: BRB gonna go cry over something that will never happen

Gisela: 🥺 pick me. Choose me. Commit atrocities with me.

not only are the good parents well written abusive parents is also impressive for a middle grade series, normally the abusive parents in books are physically abusive or drunk or both.

but the Sencens and the Songs are verbally and emotionally abusive in cannon. which is not something that’s seen often, and they’re not all written with the same personality, they are all distinct characters, while a lot of the time abusive parents in media will feel like copy paste of the same character over and over, which is not how you make diverse characters

Instead of getting book 10 after 9.5 I am convinced we’re gonna get like -5 or something just because Shannon wants to see how far she can take this before actually starting a riot

theory (there's a tldr at the bottom):

so we know that in legacy, lord crustius tells sophie and keefe that gisela wanted a very specific type of child. she wanted a son who would be a powerful empath, which she got. now, at the beginning of the series, we're told that the elves don't have sexism, like at all. so why would gisela want a son in specific when it's established that the elves don't have any sort of gender prejudice? (side note: they obviously do have gender prejudice. but that clearly was not intentional on shannon's part, so i'm just gonna roll with it for the sake of the theory.) what could a son offer that a daughter wouldn't be able to in a society that values both equally?

the answer ( . . . which is very homophobic, but i think we've already established that the elves are not exactly lgbtq+ allies):

a boy can be in a romantic relationship with a girl. (once again, i'm not saying this is actually true, i'm just saying that this is how i think gisela would view it. you know. since she lives in a homophobic society.)

but why would gisela want a child that could be in a romantic relationship with a girl?

because she'd found out about project moonlark and had somehow found out that sophie was a girl. so, she wanted a son who she hoped she'd be able to encourage into a romantic relationship with said girl once they were of a reasonable age. but why would she want that? so she could spy on the black swan. by continually using keefe and erasing his memories, she'd be able to use him to unknowingly wheedle information out of the girl (sophie) for her own purposes. which would be far easier if they dated.

but wait! but keefe is older than sophie! so how did gisela get her hands on any of this information when sophie wasn't even born?

probably because the black swan knew they were trying to make a girl before sophie was even born. so gisela would've gotten her hands on that information, as well. once she knew that, she wanted keefe to be a powerful empath so that he'd be able to tell if the girl (sophie) was ever lying to him, so that he could be the perfect spy for his mom.

and that is why i think that keefe can read sophie's emotions without touching her. because he was genetically modified to do specifically that. he was created by gisela specifically to get as much information as possible out of the black swan through sophie. so of course, gisela wanted keefe to be able to pick up on sophie's emotions without ever touching her so that he'd be able to see if she was hiding anything. she wanted him to be male because she lives in a heteronormative society and wanted her child to date the black swan's creation.

so how come lord crustius can also read sophie's emotions without contact?

because he was also genetically modified (kinda). remember the vials of light and shadow he drank? those are what made his empathy strong enough to pick up sophie's emotions without contact. he was basically a necessary in-between step that gisela needed to do to get the son she so badly wanted.

tldr: the reason keefe and lord crustius can read sophie's emotions through the air without contact is because they were specifically designed to be able to do so by gisela, who wanted keefe to be male in order to date the black swan's creation (which she knew would be a girl) and a strong empath so he'd know if she was lying to him. she wanted this so she'd be able to manipulate keefe into spying on sophie and the black swan for herself and her own gains.

kotlc valentine's day hcs <3

Here you go!

KOTLC VALENTINE'S DAY HEADCANONS

Main crew first:

Sophie didn't really do Valentine's Day much before (what with being in high school at twelve years old) and honestly didn't get the point. When she found that elves had a Day of Love, she kept hoping one of her crushes would slip her something, but it's pretty serious among elves and a crush will, at most, send you a note because otherwise it's basically a declaration of eternal love. The first elf-Valentine's Day she has is with Keefe, when they go and sit beneath Calla's Panakes at dawn to share ripplefluffs that they baked together the night before.

Biana always gets hundreds of little notes at her locker (and grudgingly at least reads them all, because not doing so would be an awful thing to do). Her dream Valentine's Day is to be serenaded (which is unfortunate because modern-day elves aren't too big on serenading), and she's secretly relieved that nothing came of her crush on Keefe because his singing voice and musical skills really aren't that great.

Linh, just like Sophie, wasn't big on Valentine's day in the past, but Marella was -- not just because she was a prolific sender of notes (half to crushes, half as pranks), but also because who was giving whom notes was big for the gossip chain. Marella simply sends Linh a note in the morning, as traditional, and they meet up at the beach later to have an Aurenflare by the beach.

Fitz entertains hopes of doing something really dramatic for Sophie, but things don't end up working out (as we know). He gets a hail from Dex in the evening, who comes over with some shiny new gadget that Fitz accepts. They sit talking for a long time into the night.

Adults:

Grady and Edaline like to take some time away from work -- they often go away on a hike in some secluded mountains.

Alden and Della are not too big on the whole event, but they usually go on a nice evening date, and end up coming home a little tipsy and glowing.

Cassius does take Gisela out on dates -- very grudgingly, and it's clear they both hate it (both of them are secretly relieved when everything is out in the open because they don't have to suffer anymore).

Juline and Kesler are always very whimsical about it. They dye their hair fun colours, go to whatever the elf equivalent of theme parks are, and generally end up having a self-contained, civilised riot (and then a less civilised riot once they get home).

Brant wrote sappy letters to Jolie, and she responded in kind. They'd get each other little trinkets and leap to the top of a mountain to kiss in front of a breathtaking sunset (or sunrise).

Cyrah always used to make Prentice little brooches, and he wrote poetry for her. Nowadays he doesn't particularly like celebrating the day, because it was really special for him and Cyrah. Tiergan comes over every year, and they often end up reminiscing long into the night.

Ancients:

Fintan and Vespera are prolific gift-givers even on normal days, so elf-Valentine's Day is basically them trying to one-up each other on their dramatic and beautiful gifts. It usually ends with them curling up on a couch together and reading, petty lovers' rivalry forgotten.

Vespera and Luzia were all about dramatic gestures, so they had the most incredible dates -- some of the big ones were in caves decorated with light, and on a snowy mountain made to look like a ballroom where they danced alone together to soft music.

Fallon is the one who actually serenades his wife properly (Biana only got the idea from seeing the delight on her something-great-grandmother's face lol). They go on picnics in wooded clearings, culminating in an almost glowing Fallon playing the harp for his wife as the moon rises.
